Liu Fang's behavior was obvious. Seeing his confusion, the commander of Jinzhou said softly: "Your Majesty, you must not turn the switch on. If there are rebels among these thieves and people, there will be endless troubles! Besides, the imperial court's policy is clear. It cannot be violated."
The pensive Liu Fang was brought back to his senses by these words. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, staring at the man with his head lowered. Along the way, Liu Fang didn't have a very good impression of this commander, and these words made him even more disgusted.
At this time, I thought of the court's policy and thought of strictly abiding by it and resolutely implementing it? What was the behavior of these local military and political officials before, and what caused the chaos in Yulin? These places absolutely bear an unshirkable responsibility.
The commander of Jinzhou was a pariah, and his attitude of contempt made Liu Fang feel very unhappy. Although Emperor Liu had a ruthless side, he was also very concerned about the sufferings of the common people. In the past, he destroyed Buddhist temples, moved powerful men, copied corrupt officials, and plundered merchants. However, when it came to the problems of the common people, he was more or less concerned. He was a bit afraid, because Emperor Liu knew that the people could be bullied, but not to excess. For the sake of the country and the country, no matter how small the affairs of the people were, they were related to the long-term peace and stability of the country, so they could not be unscrupulous.
As for Liu Fang, he had been influenced by Emperor Liu's political philosophy since he was a child, and he also formed a deep-rooted concept in his bones. He would rather be cruel to bureaucrats and nobles than to exploit civilians too much.
Although the national conditions are limited, many things are unavoidable, and many status quos are difficult to change, but in terms of keeping himself clean, Liu Fang believes that he is worthy of the people. Even a bastard like the Ninth Prince Liu Shu would not dare to do anything harmful to the people. This was a bottom line drawn by Emperor Liu for the clan. Whoever dared to cross the line would not be tolerated.
However, these bureaucrats are different. No matter how cruel you are to them, it can't change their predatory nature. In other words, the entire ruling class is like this. It's just that under the persuasion and suppression of Emperor Liu, the clan often has to be more restrained. , and had to exercise restraint.
As for how far the bureaucrats can go, it depends on the constraints of the law on the one hand, and personal moral integrity on the other. However, this is an era of human rule, and it is also an era of cannibalism. It is unreasonable to test the integrity of the bureaucrats. .
At least there are problems with the turmoil in the northwest and the military and political system in the northwest, from top to bottom, and everyone must be held responsible. However, the Jinzhou commander in front of him obviously did not realize this.
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Liu Fang raised his hand and pointed outside the fort, and said indifferently: "What are these thousands of refugees risking their lives to escape for? Survival is one thing, and more importantly, they are not willing to be thieves." , they still have confidence in the court and are eager to be protected.
Now, by shutting them out, we will not only lose the support of the people, but also force them to join the rebels. Do you want to see thousands more rebels added to Yulin? "
Faced with Liu Fang's righteous remarks, the commander of Jinzhou did not dare to express his objections. He himself did not have the courage to argue with Liu Fang. He just sat there and subconsciously did the right thing for himself. Just a good choice for Golden State.
"Besides, this refugee issue must always be resolved! Although the imperial court issued a strict decree to blockade Yulin, it did not give any further instructions to the refugees caused by the rebellion. In addition to making contributions, those who join the military also protect the country and the people. People in this life are in trouble and they should feel ashamed for not being able to stop it in time.
How can we turn a blind eye to the suffering of these common people? "
While saying this, Liu Fang was also in the process of confirming his thoughts. Although the words are a bit high-sounding, they are indeed his moral bottom line. Liu Fang is such a person, filial to Emperor Liu, loyal to the country, and compassionate to the people.
Of course, his considerations are reasonable, and at the same time, he does have enough power. Emperor Liu had given him full power to suppress the rebellion in Yulin. In addition to providing guidance in the general direction, he was allowed to operate on some detailed issues, and the refugee issue was naturally included among them.
Seeing that Liu Fang had brought his words to such an extent, the commander of Jinzhou did not dare to object any more. Even if he was unwilling to do so, he could only praise His Highness King Zhao for his kindness and concern for the country and the people. As for the more than two hundred rebels who were about to be killed and sacrificed to the flag, they were not considered.
"I'll give you a mission!" Liu Fang thought for a moment, stared at Jinzhou and commanded: "You stay in Guidebao, and you will be responsible for the screening, rescue, and resettlement of these refugees and civilians!"
Hearing this, he was stunned and said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, the general is afraid that he will not have enough manpower."
Who is Liu Fang? Hearing his excuse, he no longer suppressed his anger and said coldly: "You want to disobey military orders?"
Facing Liu Fang's solemn gaze, the commander of Jinzhou couldn't help but shudder and said quickly: "General, I don't dare. It's just that there are so many refugees, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it!"
"The huge Jinzhou can't accommodate these thousands of refugees? I will give a warrant to the Jinzhou government. The manpower, money and food will be supplied by the Jinzhou government. Chang'an can also coordinate. If it doesn't work, some of it will be allocated from the military rations! Liu Fang became more and more severe as he spoke, even getting angry: "If you can't do it, I'll appoint someone else!"
Hearing this, the commander of Jinzhou was greatly shocked. He no longer dared to shirk his words and promised, "General, I will obey the order!"
"In that case, I'll leave it to you now! If the matter is done, you will be rewarded. If it is not done, I will take it from you!" Obviously, this person's attitude made Liu Fang very angry, and he even threatened him. words.
Of course, for such people, appropriate persecution is necessary, and it will only be done seriously when it is related to their vital interests.
Looking at the refugees outside the fort, the commander of Jinzhou sighed silently in his heart. Of course, it was not because he pitied them, but even regarded them as trouble and felt helpless.
His eyes wandered for a moment, and he cupped his hands and said: "The king has an order, and I should do my best to complete it. But what's more, people are currently in a state of uncertainty. With so many people entering Jinzhou, I am really worried that it will bring turmoil to Jinzhou. Please also ask Learn from it!"
In this regard, Liu Fang fell silent for a while and did not show too much aggression. He didn't understand the rationale, and even understood the concerns of these local military and political bureaucrats to a certain extent.
It is conceivable that the influx of these refugees into Jinzhou will definitely bring troubles to public security. Not to mention the bureaucrats, even the local people will probably have a repulsive attitude.
It is really a dilemma to maintain the stability of the Daozhou in Guannei and to save the people. Liu Fang fell into deep thinking. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Suddenly, as if he had caught something, he turned around and said: "These people are temporarily settled in Jinzhou to provide necessary rescue. All weapons are collected and people are sent to guard them. Wait. After this winter, we will transfer them all and send them to Anxi!"
Speaking of this, Liu Fang felt more and more that his idea was feasible, and murmured: "The King of Wei is short of people. I don't know when Yulin will be settled. Even if it is settled, it will be dilapidated. Although Anxi is far away, it can provide a The shelter is worthy of these refugees!”
After listening to Liu Fang's decision, the commander of Jinzhou also brightened up. No matter what, as long as these troubles are not left in Jinzhou, it is still acceptable.
“If we want to transfer these refugees, it may be difficult to do so with the power of Jinzhou alone!”
"You don't need to consider these!" Liu Fang said immediately: "I will make arrangements for the Northwest Transfer Envoy and Hexi. You just need to do your part. In short, I don't want the refugee problem to continue to worsen!"
"yes!"
After making the decision, Liu Fang sent people out of the fort to announce the relief and resettlement to the refugees outside the fort. Soon, the almost numb Yanzhou refugees regained some vitality, hoping that the unexpected arrival would make them completely emotional. The ground was released, and a burst of shouts of "King Zhao is a thousand years old" broke out in the mountains in front of Guide Castle.
The shouts were carried into the fort by the wind. Liu Fang was on his way back to the camp. Hearing the shouts, he couldn't help but feel moved. After all, Liu Fang was somewhat emotional. At this time, his eyes turned red unconsciously.
"Your Majesty, there are more than thousands of refugees in Yulin in the whole of Yulin. The situation in Guidebao is by no means an exception. Is it inevitable that everything should be dealt with like this?" Zhao Wang Changshi, who was following Liu Fang, asked softly .
"I don't ask for their cheers, I just want a clear conscience! Most of these Han people are the result of the imperial court's immigration policy. I originally hoped to rely on them to stabilize the border, but now, they have caused such a big mess. For these people, the imperial court is You have failed them, now do what you can!" Liu Fang sighed.
"As you said, other places will do the same!" After thinking about it, Liu Fang gritted his teeth and said: "Over in Tokyo, draft a memorial for me to report the refugee issue and my opinions on how to deal with it!
Also, send people to keep an eye on Jinzhou and keep an eye on this matter. I am no longer worried about these people! "
"yes!"
After hearing the refugee incident, Liu Fang's heart inevitably felt a little heavier. He looked back to the north with determination in his eyes and determination in his expression. Yulin must be severely punished!
